Recently Terry and I drove across town to the Shenkman Arts Centre...
... to see an exhibit of botanical drawings by local artists.
We discovered a number of other exhibits as well.
I was particularly impressed by these giant portraits...
I'm not sure if they were done by a local artist...
But the detail was amazing... even though the paint had been applied in thick gobs!
Eventually we found the botanical drawings...
The three above are among my favorites: leeks, asparagus, and leaves.
There is a difference between Terry and me when we find a painting we really like: I am inspired to learn how to paint like that; Terry simply wants to purchase the painting!
